Killing the Fnrmer., Fen,hered Friend.

The Philadelphia Record, which always
shows commendable degree of intelligent
interest in the affairs of the farmers, pro
tests strongly against a state law which
pays a bounty for killing hawks, owls and
weasels. This law, the Record says, is an
exceedingly mischievous one, based on all
entire misapprehension of the habits of the
creatures for whose destruction reward
is offered.
I'VE are indebted 10 the West Chester
Micruscopical society and particularly to
the industrious Investigations of DR.. r. H.
Warren, ornithologist of the Pennsylvania
state board Of agriculture, for some very
interesting facts relating to the hawk and
owl tribes which go to show that among
predatory birds the farmer has no better
friends Dr. Warren $ methods of investi-
cation leaves no room for controversy. In
order to ascertain the food that hawks and
owls live upon he has for years past exam
med the contents of their stomachs 1t is
shown that both hawks and owls live main
ly upon mice and insects, meadow mice and
grasshoppers being the staple articles of
consumption The owls DESTROY so few
chickens, in comparison with other small
game, that they ever get chicken supper is
not worth mentioning. Two or three kinds
of hawks, with long tails and short wings,
are chicken eaters-the larger hawks sell
dom touch Il chicken-but all of the hawk
tribe do ten times more good than harm
Even of weasels Mr.. Merriam, the ornithol
ogist in the department of agriculture al
Washington, writes that the smaller kind
feeds chiefly on mice and insects, and is moi
known TO kill poultry The larger alsC
preys mainly upon mice and rats, but il
addition sometimes kills rabbits and poul
try Both species are friends of the far
mer, for the occasional loss of a few chick
ems is of triling consequence compare,
with the good that these animals are con
stantly doing in checking the increase o
mice.
From inquiries made by DR. Warren o
county commissioners throughout the stat
he estimates that not less than $50, 900 pc
year is paid out under the sanction of tn
law of 1888, the greater part of the none,
for the killing of hawks and owls. Thi
money is worse than thrown away Tn
hawks guard the farmers growing crop
by day and the owls by night. No douh
every able-bo bird saves more ever
year for the farmer than the sum of tn
bounty placed upon its head.

It is a safe presumption, if one is tempt ed to make B pun upon anothers name, that the same pun has been made in the persons hearing at least twenty times, nc matter how weird and recondite 1t may seem. There is one case which recurs in the writer's memory, after long lapse oi time, which may be illustrative. Itswas in the case of a gentleman of his acquaint. ance, whose name was Higginson, and who had family of children, and niece and nephew or two living at his house. One day the writer whose offence had nothing but youth to palliate it. ventured, in sa. luting this gentleman, upon the following inquiry:
 'tGood morning, MT. Higgi son. How are the little Higginsons and Higgindaugh- ters, and the rest sof the Higginchildren this morning?S
 MT. Higginson sighed deeply. "See here, my boy do you know that the poor, impertinent joke has been got off regularly ever since there were any Higginsons, and that myself used to be called one of the HIgginchildren as long ago as can re- member? The good die young, my boy, but wicked old jokes like that live forever. My grandchildren will hear 1t after they are grown up, but they won't enjoy 1t any more than I enjoy 1t now"
 Mir. Higginson took his departure frlg- idly, and the writer has never made pun on mans name, before his face, from that day, to this.

Randall would not agree to the proposition. Bad as T am, I have some respect for Gods day, z said he, ssand I don't think it proper to hold session of congress on that day" --~
 .sOh, pshaw P replied Butler, "don't the Bible say that it is lawful to pull your OK or ass out of pit on the Sabbath day :? You have seventy-three- asses on your side of this house that want to get out of this ditch tomorrow, and-I think I am engaged in holy work.
 ssDon't do it, Butler" pleaded Randall "I have some respect for you that I don't want to lose. expect some day to meet you in better world.R'

Tt is reported that there is a project on foot for sort of union between the North Mansfield Congregational church and the Gurleyville Methodist church. Both societies as at present constituted while not absolutely weak are not finan- cially strong, and it IS thought by union of the two, better results could be secured, the services being held at Gurleyville Sun day morning and at North Mansfield in the afternoon. The movement originates with the resident managers of the Storrs Agricultural School, and commends itself generally to public favor.

-HartfordPost Wednesday, as the 5:35 train south on the Consolidated road came into the Union depot, Miss Harriet L. War ner of East Windsor, a passenger on the train, jumped off before the cars came to a stop. She fell full length and rolled off the platform upon her back next to the rail. A cry from the waiting passengers on the depot platform attracted Officer Johnsons notice and before others thought of helping, he with a rush, ran nearly the length of car, threw himself on his stom- ach and placing one hand upon the lady's shoulder tried to prevent her from getting up till the car steps had gone by. In this position be lay with the lady struggling to get out and he trying to prevent her. w hen the steps came along, he himself, had to hug the platform close in order to clear the steps and still keep her from rais- ing up her head and shoulders to sure death. As it was, the steps tore the lady's clothes in passing over her, but before the next pair of steps came along, the officer had sprung to his knees, and yanked the lady upon the platform. Some way in struggling, her left foot got under the wheels, and two toes were out of. She was taken to the hospital and the wounds were dressed 1t was very narrow es- cape, and Officer Johnson's quick fore thought prevented the passenger's seeing q terrible death. This life is not the only one that Officer Johnson has saved at the Union depot
